She dreamed it and she made it happen!
My inspiration person of the day is Fiona Lovatt, from the Lovatt Foundation in Nigeria.
About 8 years ago she dreamed about going to a far away country and building a better life for hundreds of orphans and internally displaced people.
She made it happen through selfless dedication, sweat, tears, and laughs. She is one of the wisest and most selfless women I know. She is my example of service to humanity. You can find her story and get inspired at www.lovattfoundation.org.!

Why is it that I have started chasing, only now, my lifelong dreams of being a published writer? Because, up until now, I've always been afraid. Afraid people would say my writing was worthless. That my dreams were void. I thought that, if I didn't try I wouldn't be rejected. And if I was not rejected I could keep believing I had some talent. As if "it's not that I'm no good, it's just that I never tried".
7 years ago I became a mum for the first time. I discovered, since then, that I don't want my children to be football players, or CEOs, or engineers. I want them to have the courage to pursue their dreams. Children learn better by example than by words. So I decided to roll up my sleeves and start taking my writing more "seriously". I decided to take a risk and send it to agents and publishers. Because, even if I keep getting rejected, my children will learn never to give up, not to surrender and to always try to go further in their battles. I am trying to fulfill my dreams because I want my children to, one day, remember their mother as a fearless, courageous, hardworking woman that never lowered her head in defeat!

“Insert positive quote here.” - famous person 💬 In a world of self-help, political & religious ramblings... at the end of the day... let’s ask, “So, what are you going to do about it!?” 🤔
I’m guilty of it all... rambling & going on & on about my beliefs & opinions. However, when some hide behind the TV, 📺 computer, 💻 & their favorite 👤 “spokes person,” REAL LEADERS look in the mirror & then get behind their WORDS! And behind good words are ACTIONS & MOVEMENT! Actions & movement are trackable - followable & most of all DUPLICAT-ABLE! That’s what creates an unstoppable force. A pint of example beats a gallon of advice! Remember, for things to change - WE have to change something! And that begins in the mirror... E V E R Y
S I N G L E
D A Y ! ☀️ We say, “Don’t watch my lips, 👄 watch my feet!” 👟 👟 Actions speak, while talk is cheap! Remember, our actions speak so loudly, they can’t hear our words! 🗣 🌎 If we want to change the world, we have to pick something & FOCUS! Master a niche & get “rich!” Rich in purpose, fullfillment, ability & empowerment to make a difference & even teach it forward! ♻️ 👓 FOCUS FORWARD with RESULTS driven ACTIVITY in a way that you can truly make a difference leaving a legacy & something that while long out last you - will be your prize! 🏆 “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves.” - Leo Tolstoy
To do this right & the buck stops with ☝️ ME / YOU! 👇 “If it’s going to be, it’s up to ME!” Look in the mirror - say it - surrround yourslef by it - read it - the Good Book & resources that will back it & build you UP 📈 & not bring you down 📉! Then guard that feeling of OWNERSHIP with your LIFE! 💎 TIP: At the end of the day, when all is said & done, lets be sure more is ✅ DONE than said! If you don’t know ⭐️ “the starfish story,” google it. Look it up. Then, one ACTION at a time, lets make a difference, be an example & leave a LEGACY - starting TODAY! #NOW#ownit#liveit#beLIeVEit#doit#lead#starfish#equip#empowerment#unstoppableforce#emerge#actionsspeak#talkischeap#example#thecompoundeffect#teachamantofish#teachamanhowtoteachanothermantofish#feedtheworld#change

WARNING: You’re kids are watching you.
.
.
I found this recording on a phone we let Sabrina use. I did not encourage or prompt this video. .
.
She has no place to post it so she must be practicing growing up. She is starting to work out her messaging to the world.
.
.
This reminded me of the importance of parenting & how kids are watching everything we do and will strive to duplicate it. .
. .
What are they spending their time watching? What are you spending your time doing? .
.
I ask myself how much of what I do I don’t want her duplicating?
Cursing
Complaining about life, others, work, etc.
Too much lazy time
Focused on problems
Too much TV/Internet
Inside too much
.
.
Make a list of things you don’t want your kids duplicating & knock it off & replace it with things you want them to at later practicing now.

WARNING: Kids are watching you. .
.
CHALLENGE: Post one bad habit you learned watching your parents. .
.
I found this recording on a phone we allow Sabrina to use. I did not encourage or prompt this video. It was done before she went to school. .
.
Why do you think she recorded this? .
.
.
She has no place to post it so she must be practicing growing up. Is she starting to work out her messaging to the world or merely repeating what she hears me talking about all the time. Why was this on her mind this morning before school?
.

This reminded me of the importance of parenting & how kids are watching everything we do and will strive to duplicate whatever they see in society until they work out they’re messaging.
. .
What are they watching you do everyday? What are you spending your time doing? .
.
I ask myself how much of what I do, I don’t want her duplicating?
.
Cursing
Complaining about life, others, work, etc.
Too much lazy time
Focused on problems
Too much TV/Internet
Inside too much
Pushy, rude, unprofessional.
.

I’m making a list of things I don’t want my kids duplicating & making a commitment to replace them with things I want them to practice now & use in life.
